Phony Bundy's On Government Dole

All the while the Bundy's and these other militia members are hooting, hollering and railing against the federal government they are suckling on it's very teats.

According to 'U.S, Uncut' nearly every part of the Bundy family’s business is on the dole funded by government welfare programs. Some of those are loans from the Small Business Administration, taxpayers subsidies as well as up to a 93% discount from the government allowing for their cattle to graze on public land which even that they refuse to pay for.

About that. Whether it's government or privately held land doesn't matter. Either way they don't hold deed to it. In any other world other then theirs it's called stealing. Whether a farmer wants to raise carrots or cattle you can't simply go next door on land you don't own and do whatever the hell you want.

Oh and by the way they're not against public begging. They are asking people to send supplies. It isn't exactly like these are homeless people.

During their occupation at the wildlife refuge in Oregon they cut a neighboring cattleman's private fencing. Problem is he didn't want it cut. Now will it not only cost him to repair it, but he has to try and round up his cattle which wandered off.

Then there's the one militia family complaining about the government taking away their four foster children. Before you feel too sorry for them you should be made aware "Catholic Charities paid the family $115,343 to foster children in 2009 (between $22.31 and $37.49 per child). Critics were quick to point out it was like them getting farmhands for free in 2009. In essence the family was getting paid to use free farm labor if that be the case.

Big Surprise
Like everything else this has little to do with freedom from government and everything to do with the almighty dollar.

According to this 'Mother Jones' article... "Compared with 40 years ago, nearly a third less of every dollar you spend on beef goes into the pocket of the rancher who raised the cow."



I can understand they like all the rest of us common folk are getting the squeeze put on them by the rich and powerful.. but let's not pretend for one second this is not about taking money from wherever they can get it even if they're mooching off the government they claim to hate.

It starts with the elections and the way ranchers market their beef.
(1) How about they go about a way of setting up their own market supply chain instead?
(2) March on Washington in a big way to garner public attention and support?
(3) Elect their own political leaders.
(4) Stop acting like hot headed gun toting jerks and actually do something that doesn't piss off or threaten the people who actually live in Oregon.

IN CONCLUSION
These are nothing more then thugs forcibly looking for handouts from both the government and other people. They're not patriots. Real patriots work hard to strengthen and fix what's wrong with the inequalities in this country. They don't take up arms against it. There's a right way and wrong way to go about making changes and this ain't it!
